Do you have any experience of using Dinitrol and in particular their 'High Performance Wax Aerosol'?
I've been reading some forum posts and watching some youtube vids and stuff and as far as I can see, the afore mentioned wax aerosol is the only thing they do that doesn't go black when dried/cured.
That said, the only pics I can find of the clear stuff cured look like this,
Which is not a look I want. That's from a German
carrustproofing forum (yeah, really, I just put the forum name through google translate?!) and I can't really tell what they are saying about it.At the moment I'm thinking linseed oil or see if I can hammerite it at my dads garage and leave it there to dry, he has power and heat.

Linseed oil of rust proofing is really medieval technology there are far superior products that will actually surface react and adhere to steel.
The oil basically coats and solidified in the surface which is why the thicker boiled stuff is better.
It's perfect for my heavy vintage record bench vice but I wouldn't use on thin tensile steel. But that said some protection is better then none.
Dinitrol products are excellent.
